Description

This squid specialty restaurant in Dongjak-gu, Seoul offers a casual, no-frills vibe just like a traditional Korean pojangmacha (tent bar), making it an easy place to drop by. As side dishes, you’ll be served a spicy bean sprout soup, while drinks such as soju, water, and soft drinks are all self-serve. The signature dish here is undoubtedly Ojingeo Mulhoe (spicy raw squid in cold broth). It comes served in an icy bowl filled with fresh squid, vegetables, and a tangy gochujang-vinegar sauce—perfect for hot summer days. The squid is incredibly fresh, giving it a chewy bite. The mulhoe is served with thin wheat noodles: take a bit into your bowl, ladle over the chilled squid broth, and enjoy the unbeatable combination. The springy noodles, tangy acidity, and subtle sweetness create an addictive flavor. Another popular dish is Whole Steamed Squid, where the fresh squid is steamed whole with its innards intact, resulting in a rich, savory taste. Dip it in wasabi or cho-gochujang (vinegar chili paste), and the squid’s bouncy texture together with the deep umami from the innards makes it the perfect companion to drinks. Do note: as this is a squid specialty house, opening hours may end early depending on the day’s catch, and prices can vary according to the market rate.
